LHC

Where were you when the protons were released? I was approaching the black cat roundabout on the A1, thank you radio 5. I do not understand the science but I have loved the explanations on the tv and radio in the last few days. Maybe some hype, and maybe the data crunching scientists would disagree, but this experiment seems to have profound scale and importance in all kinds of ways (for example listen to the analogies given to help people like me - gcse science 1988, thank you Mr Gower - to grasp the numbers, the complexity, the technical accomplishment as well as the possibility of recreating conditions moments after the beginning of the universe). Apt of course that the countdown was by a Welshman!
